The Calabresi line of pipes were produced by Thomas Cristiano in Tampa, Florida. A sub-brand of Calabresi was Londonaire. The pipes were stamped "Calabresi" and generally bore a letter C on the stem. The Londonaire pipes were apparently made in both England and Italy, stamped Londonaire, and had an anchor on the stem.

- Perhaps there is more than one Londonaire? This display rack would appear to be for an earlier production of the brand:

Front of the display rack, loaded with cobs likely not original to the rack, as it indicates Selected Imported Briar. The price of $3.50 would indicate this is a much earlier Londonaire than those imported by Cristiano.
To further add to the confusion, there is also a pipe called the HOS Londonier
